Happy New Moon in Virgo! I woke up early, even early for me (I am an early bird) and I feel so awake, so clear. For the past week I have been feeling Autumn arrive and this makes me anxious to get the most out of the last days of Summer. To drink in as much Sunshine as I can until the cold season arrives. I also have been feeling this pressure because we are three quarters in this year and [...]
Happy Full Moon (the Full Sturgeon Moon) in rational, eccentric and humanitarian Aquarius! The Sun (in proud and loyal Leo) now forms an exact opposition to the Moon. In astrology, the Sun rules our overall character while the moon rules our inner Self. So the Full Moon shines a light on our Selves that only comes out in the dark. That Self that 'outside' people don't get to see. And this may bring up some tension if your outside you is [...]
A little while ago I did a career spread for myself. This year I celebrated my 10th year anniversary at my current day job. I am happy where I work, content, all is well and I think I am good at what I do and I think my colleagues feel the same. I am blessed to work at such an open minded and colorful place. I am not bored, but sometimes the mind wanders if I there are other opportunities out [...]
Today I want to share with you a Lenormand reading I did for myself around the theme of love and romance. I have been single for about nine years now and I am opening up to the idea of meeting a man romantically. The past years I have had many excuses not to focus on love, excuses that may be very real as my heart wasn't open (well it was, wide open, but wounded and mourning) and I didn't have the [...]
Today, Tuesday July 16th we witness a partial lunar eclipse, a Full Moon in Capricorn, and Mercury is still going retrograde, this is a week full of profound and powerful energy! A Full Moon is always a great moment to reflect on what is going on in your life and the bigger picture. Every full moon has a different effect due to its specific position at that time. This Moon is in practical, self reliant, stoic and ambitious Capricorn. The lunar [...]
Two weeks ago I attended the Tarot Fest in Switzerland. a marvelous day with very fascinating speakers and workshops gathering of Tarot lovers coming together to explore the mysteries of the Tarot. The Festival offered a casual and relaxed setting for Tarot authors, artists, teachers, beginners and professional readers to come together in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, a place where skills and teaching expertise were shared. An opportunity to tap in to the wisdom and knowledge from those who have [...]
We are in the middle of Summer and I have been spending time away from the computer as much as I can in my spare time. Summer asks us to let relax, take a step back and now with Mercury in retrograde (until July 31st) a perfect time to reflect and ponder (perfect for Summer holidays, not so good for travel). This is the season to stop what you are doing and reassess, take stock and feel if you are still [...]
Happy July! I hope you are enjoying the Summer (Northern Hemisphere) as much as I am. I just love the warmth, the sunshine, the energy, and wearing light dresses and sandals! Sigh... Eclipses Astrologically this month looks interesting with two eclipses (2 July with the New Moon and 16 July with the Full Moon). Eclipses present us with massive accelerations of growth, usually during very short pockets of time. These accelerations offer us very big energetic opportunities. Mercury turns retrograde on July [...]
Summer Solstice is the longest day and shortest night of the year and is occurring June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere. The Goddess of Summer is calling us to come out and play in the light and enjoy the bounty of summertime. It is halfway in the year and worth taking the time for a review of your position and intentions for the year. For this Summer Solstice Tarot Spread, take several deep breaths to ground and center and if you [...]
Driving up the Hollendewagenweg (Rolling Wagon Street - real name!), I never suspected such an oasis hiding in the middle of the long-stretched meadows. Here we find a warm and welcoming place full of discovery and beauty. Last week, Pentecost weekend, I spent in a former nunnery near Utrecht, called Samaya, for a workshop Self Image and Emotions lead by Paul Loomans, Zen monk and owner of De Stressontknoping. (the Stress denouement). A beautiful 3-day workshop with 14 wonderful and open [...]
